Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 337
by Jessie@AFNCC
Convocation Order (5)
Whoa!!
Northern Highlands. The second base that the Blue Eye has relocated to.
Lennok muttered as he looked at the snowstorm blowing outside the wide hallway window.
“The wind is cold.”
“Northern Continent. “Because it is a plateau close to the pole.”
Grisha who was standing behind Lennok yawned and responded.
Although it seemed like it had been quite a while since we had seen each other she and Lennok did not really say hello.
As a member of a long-lived race who had lived for hundreds of years her sense of time was very different from other people.
“But this is also just a process of returning to the original climate as the power over the area weakens. “The temperature has been dropping for a month so it’s probably going to get colder.”
“So did you decide to move the base in this way?”
Lennok’s gaze thrown out the window extends dozens of meters down to the distant ground.
This meeting room and other new bases are located tens of meters above the ground. And the scenery in this area was somewhat familiar to Lennok’s eyes.
In order to establish a new base for the Blue Eye Lapis summoned one of the floating islands of the Dominion and turned it into a base.
“But I didn’t know something like this was possible. “I thought floating island colonies were an environment that could only exist in the ‘Sea of Understanding.’”
The rising air currents rising from the strait called the Sea of Understanding allow magical objects to float much more efficiently than in other areas.
However Lapis ignored the uniqueness of the environment and succeeded in summoning one of the floating islands that existed in the autonomous territory to the northern plateau thousands of kilometers away.
The size of the floating island itself is quite small among the colonies Lennok has seen in the Dominion but it is large enough to accommodate about thirty watchers.
“It’s a temporary solution created by roughly combining the supernormal abilities of a lighthouse keeper with various expedient methods.”
Grisha said with an indifferent expression.
“To be precise we are only specifying and loading the skeleton of the floating islands that exist in the Dominion. “We create another island by adding locally sourced soil and snow to a framework that receives the power of the rising air currents that exist in the sea of understanding.”
“Are you saying that you are vaguely maintaining the form without completely completing the summoning technique? “Who is taking care of that magical power consumption?”
“I’m keeping my main forces linked. “Can’t you see it?”
“….”
Lennok stared at the bronze-skinned shaman with a dumbfounded expression.
It’s enough to say that he’s a monster for maintaining a magic technique of this scale without completing it but how can he maintain a normal complexion even after adding weight by piling up the dirt and snow of this snowy field?

Didn’t Grisha even use her magnetic domain [South Mando Coast Guard] the moment he appeared to save Lapis?
I knew that it had an overwhelming main force that could not be estimated in total but I did not expect it to be of this magnitude.
“I know what you’re thinking but I can’t keep all this going on my own.”
Grisha read Lennok’s gaze and smiled broadly.
“Sorcery is originally a technique of finding expedients using all kinds of constraints and triggers and is more specialized for survival and maintenance than creation. “Even a shaman like me has been able to survive until now because we have reached a point in a direction different from magic.”
“I’m sure it’s at a level that can’t be explained with those words but…”
I understood that such an ignorant thing was possible for a shaman who had lived for over hundreds of years.
Perhaps Grisha himself was operating as the engine and power source of this floating island changing direction and moving it like the captain of a ship.
In that case it also makes sense that Lapis wasn’t around when she summoned Lennok.
“Is that why you’ve been fighting the superhumans who flocked around here for a whole month?”
“….”
Grisha stared at Lennok’s face and grinned at his words.
“Now that I think about it you didn’t get any explanation. “I still don’t know why we’ve been doing this together for over a month.”
“I know that the Ascendant who was hiding in the deepest canyon inside the snowfield has moved. “Organizations that have realized that fact are taking action one after another.”
“Hoo.”
“What I don’t understand however is why no one hastily tries to approach the inside of the snowy field. “If everyone here has gathered for the purpose of meeting the ascendant it would be natural for the person who moves first to have an advantage.”
Lennok said and turned his gaze towards Grisha.
“I think we should probably hear why you don’t do that now.”
“…Let’s talk about that at the meeting first.”
Grisha slightly averted his eyes and put the bear he was holding in his arms.
“Since you’re already here I’m planning to briefly summarize the current situation and goals. What exactly do I need to do to meet the Ascendant nestled in this snowy field? “You don’t know much yet do you?”
Lennok nodded and she clapped expertly.
“therefore. Lapis will explain that part well. “Let’s go in and think about it.”
As Grisha said that and was about to lead Lennok to the conference room Lenok stopped.
“Wait a minute I’ll just smoke one more and go in.”
“No we just came in after smoking together.”
“Once the meeting starts you won’t be able to bloom for a while. “You need to replenish in advance.”
“You’re talking like you’re charging a battery… I understand so hurry up and come back.”
What Grisha said is not wrong.
In fact the drug Lennoc inhales through tobacco helps his weak body move like a normal person.
He tried every possible way to alleviate the penalty imposed on him for his talent but in the end the only thing left at his disposal was drugs.
I just hope that this opportunity can provide a new direction to break away from this tiresome cycle.
The moment Lennok thought that and was about to exit the hallway of the mansion located on the floating island.
Jump up!!
I encountered observers coming through the door.
“ah….”
In an instant Lennok turned on his magical power and scanned the people in front of him.
Join our discord and ping me to update more chapters. Discord: https://discord.gg/93rmBjgP6B
Approximately over ten people. Regardless of whether they are male or female their clothing is of various colors.
They all looked a bit tired as if they were exhausted from the continuous battles. Judging by his neat demeanor compared to his facial expression he must be on his way back after completing maintenance.
A subtle gaze mixed with favor and caution. Ambiguous attitude unsure of whether he is an ally.
There is an awkward distance between greeting each other.
Lennok only gave a cursory nod then passed the group and grabbed the doorknob.
A face you will see again at the conference hall anyway. Even if they belong to the same Blue Eye they will not move together so there is no need to make a statement.
The moment I thought like that and rummaged around in my arms to take out the beginning of the year.
“I said Evan.”
The observer standing at the edge of the group called Lennok to stop.
“Can we talk for a moment?”
“….”
Lennok turned his head briefly while holding the doorknob.
A man with a neat face was looking at him. The other party members followed the man and stopped walking.
However seeing as no one was surprised it seemed like the conversation had already been discussed in advance.
Before answering Lennok looked at the face of the man who spoke first.
Even though I heard that the operation was carried out in this snowy field for over a month the uniform itself is very neat.
However what catches the eye before that is a crystal of magical power that is tightly coiled and slowly rotating within him.
It was proof that the man standing in front of him was a level 7 person with divine power who had just completed the hierarchy.
‘Seeing it like this gives me new emotions….’
Almost all of the level 7 talented people that Lennok has encountered so far are old strongmen who have already developed their talents to their limits.
Aren’t the cartel’s presidents also veterans who have been at level 7 for at least 20 years?
Of course I have heard that there are talented people who have just reached level 7 among the cartel’s high-ranking directors but I have never actually seen them.
Aside from Lennok himself it was almost like the first time seeing a superhuman who had just completed the hierarchy in person.
“…Are you not planning on answering?”
“Oh I’m sorry.”
I was lost in thought and forgot to answer.
Lennok responded like that but did not stop reaching into his arms.
Watching the other observers flinch at the simple gesture Lennok took out a cigarette from his arms.
“But first can we talk while smoking a joint?”
* * *
A small manor located behind the mansion.
They brought in soil and snow from a snowy field added flesh to it and even planted trees around the mansion.
Lenok who laughed at that trivial detail took a piece of tobacco and lit a spark.
Cheek!
“ha….”
Behind Lennok’s smoke-dripping back dozens of observers were waiting for him to speak.
Even though it appears to be a somewhat threatening situation it is not strange.
However it was the viewers who had a tense expression on their faces.
A flame wizard who single-handedly defeated the drug lord of Bokmajeon. Because no one was stupid enough to doubt his skills.
The lighthouse keeper who brought them to the attention of the Qing is such a noble person that even at this point he is willing to risk his life to keep them by his side.
Everyone vaguely guessed that he was not an ordinary wizard.
Lennok roughly guessed the thoughts of those watching and chuckled.
I wondered if the new watchers were territorial but it seemed like Lapis was able to filter out the stupid ones.
Lennok glanced around and among them he carefully observed a man with a grim expression staring blankly at him.
After confirming that Lennok’s eyes were focused on the tobacco he was holding he rummaged around in his arms and took out a new tobacco.
“Would you like to have a smoke?”
“…I don’t refuse.”
“Gerrick!!”
The sharp-looking woman tried to stop him but the man named Gehrig quickly took the tobacco Lennok gave him and put it in his mouth.
“oh….!”
“How does it taste?”
“…A taste of home. “It’s extremely stable.”
“….”
Who would have thought that Lennok would talk about the taste of his hometown with a special product he made himself.
As if he had sensed Lennok’s thoughts the level 7 young man who had been lost in thought opened his mouth instead.
“Gehrig is a werewolf. “It seems like the herbs grown in that village are mixed among the ingredients of the tobacco you bloom.”
It’s a medicinal herb… Among the various ingredients I experimented with while making tobacco through alchemy were the medicinal herbs grown in Gehrig’s village mixed in?
But instead of expressing that thought Lennok turned his gaze towards the young man.
“It looks like you’ve roughly organized your thoughts right?”
The young man did not respond to Lennok’s words.
Instead he just walked forward and held out his hand towards Lennok.
“Lance Avilon. He is a level 7 witch doctor. “I used to belong to Legios and now I’m working for the Blue Eye.”
“Spell Federation? “I’ve heard the story.”
Lennok replied roughly holding his hand and shaking it.
“They say it’s one of the most powerful magician organizations on the Central Front. “Even after completing the hierarchy I thought about running away from it.”
“I decided to come out because I finished it.”
Lance smiled bitterly.
“That was the moment when I realized that the path the federation was taking was different from what I wanted.”
“….”
“Chasing Arsnova’s glory is not the answer I want. “I came here hoping for a more realistic alternative.”
After saying that Lance raised his head and made eye contact with Lennok.
“It’s not just me. “The observers gathered here all agreed with Lapis-sama’s opinion and decided to spend the remaining time walking in that direction.”
“I see.”
“That’s why we wanted to tell you our position in advance.”
“Admission?”
“I recognize your merit and skill in taking down the drug lord single-handedly. Thanks to him we learned of the existence of the Blue Eye and came this far. But I hope you don’t try to control us with that feat and time.”
Lance’s eyes shone with resolute determination.
“It is natural for Lapis to have trust in you. But I hope you believe that and don’t interfere with his thoughts.”
Lennok laughed with an absurd expression.
“You’re talking as if I’m going to control Lapis from behind.”
“I know you weren’t that kind of person. However an Aspect Wizard or someone as strong and opinionated as you influences those around him in some way. “Am I wrong?”
“….”
“Hyundai Palace Evelyn Marcia. A strong and wise man. “Once I find out why such a strong person decided to join I have no choice but to be wary of you.”
Lance looked at Lennok’s expressionless face and nodded slightly.
As if he was relieved to see the reaction so far.
“I don’t want this organization to turn into an organization for you rather than Lapis. “That’s all I want to say.”
“It’s a useless request.”
The other observers flinched at the sarcastic response but Lennok grinned clearly anticipating that reaction.
“But it’s much more logical than the idiots who don’t know the topic. “I roughly understood what he meant.”
“….”
“We’ll talk about the rest in the conference room.”
The expressions on the other observers’ faces softened slightly at Lennok’s answer which was much softer than expected.
Lance’s words were persuasive in their own way but what superhuman would like to be asked to be careful about exerting influence in this powerful organization?
Considering Evan’s skills and temperament that I had always heard about his attitude was much more docile than expected.
Is he not interested in others in the first place or is he just the type of person who doesn’t respond unless someone touches him first?
At least it seemed clear that he was showing some respect to his fellow observers.
Just as Lennok was about to walk into the mansion smoothing out the end of the burned-out filter.
Garrick the werewolf who had been concentrating on burning the tobacco without saying a word up to this point spoke.
“Everyone’s thoughts are different.”
“….”
“There are certainly people who think favorably of what you have accomplished but there are also people who are more wary of you than we are.”
Gehrig’s honest eyes gazed calmly at Lennok.
“A rough decision will be made at this meeting but I will support that side.”
“Gerrick are you really….”
“Are you going to keep doing this alone?”
Despite criticism from other observers Gehrig spoke in a blunt tone.
“He is a trustworthy person because he helped me smoke good tobacco. “It’s worth working together at least once.”
“This is why I can’t communicate with cubs of animals…”
“It would be a good idea to prepare some in advance at the beginning of the year so that this guy doesn’t say anything.”
Lennok who had been watching the observers bickering with each other as they headed towards the conference hall soon smiled and walked away.
A conversation like that can only happen because we think of each other as colleagues fighting under the same banner.
In that respect the Blue Eyes newly created by Lapis did not seem to be a very poor organization.
All that needs to be done is to meet and evaluate the true power of Blue Eyes and the remaining Watchers at the meeting that will begin from now on.
“So stop hiding now and come out.”
“…did you know?”
Lennok snorted as he looked at Evelyn who appeared from behind the tree with a sheepish smile.
“I know what you’re thinking but if you intervened there the situation would have gotten even weirder. “You know right?”
“Okay then. “It’s hard to say that there aren’t factional fights even at agents.”
Evelyn who had quietly followed behind Lennok answered calmly.
“I was just thinking that perhaps sparks would fly in you because I joined the Blue House.”
“Sparks?”
“okay. “Not all observers responded to this summons but I can’t say that there aren’t any strange ones.”
Evelyn gave a vague pretense and immediately grabbed Lennok’s sleeve.
“You will find out more details at the conference hall. “Let’s go in first.”
“Oh right. “I forgot to tell you this.”
As Lennok said that he took out a shrunken case from his pocket and held it out to Evelyn.
Vegetables purchased at the market. It is a gift that has been cut into bite-size pieces and processed.
“…This?”
“I bought it at the market. “It won’t be as good as the crops you grew yourself.”
As Lennok slowly turned his head as he said that Evelyn finally realized the identity of the gift and smiled softly.
“What did you think you would take care of something like this?”
“It would have been difficult to find vegetables if we had been in a snow-covered field like this for a month.”
“….”
“I think your condition is also an important factor in the operation.”
It’s not a lie.
Because I knew that Lennok had some influence on why Evelyn decided to join the Blue Army.
On the way back from the West Continent branch of the Blaver Magic Tower if Evelyn had not confessed that Van and Evan were the same person would Evelyn be standing here now?
Because he was somewhat aware of this Lennok could not shake off the feeling that he owed her his heart.
This gift is just a small repayment for her favor.
Even though Lennok knew that it was a debt that could not be discharged he wanted to do at least what he could for her.
Evelyn who had been looking down at the vegetable storage box Lennok handed her for a while slightly raised her head.
“thank you.”
“It’s nothing special-”
The moment Lennok said that and turned his head Evelyn suddenly thrust something in front of him.
“What is this?”
“Since I received a gift I also want to give one.”
“…A gift?”
“As you said it was difficult to find vegetables in the North Continent so I was picking plants that grow in the snowy fields and eating them one by one. “We collected and stored only the edible types.”
“hmm…”
Usually if you can’t find vegetables you might just be satisfied with snacks or meat. How many people pull up grass roots growing on the ground and eat them because they cannot eat vegetarian food?
I never would have thought that I would be pulling out tough weeds growing all over the snowy fields.
Evelyn spoke bravely as if she was handing over a precious treasure.
“I carefully selected something delicious to give to you. “Try one.”
This wasn’t the reaction I was originally expecting… Lennok tilted his head like that but chewed the leaves of the plant she handed him without saying anything.
Evelyn holding the case Lennok gave her with both hands asked with a face full of anticipation.
“how is it?”
“….”
For the first time Lennok realized that his sense of taste might not be enough to control his facial expressions.
